I’m honored and proud to know you.New Iberia, Louisiana: 16th District Attorney, Bo Duhe' announced Cody Toucheck (D.O.B. Well, he is the father of both families, a true Citizen of the Year.Ĭongratulations, sir. But like he said in his speech that prompted laughter and tears, it was about family, his own extended family (of which seven of nine children were on hand) as well as the family of volunteers in and around New Iberia. You see him everywhere, involved in a myriad of causes and organizations. That distinctive twinkle in his eye and that equally distinctive soft laugh never are absent. I’ll bet there never has been a problem for such a generous man. I flagged him down and asked if he could help. I was in my boat with a desperate need for outboard motor oil. I remember quite a few years ago I saw him on Lake Fausse Pointe, steering his boat on a scenic stretch of water. Our paths crossed a lot in and out of town.
I still remember his days as an auctioneer at outdoors-related events. I haven’t known Escuriex as long as many people around here but I have known him since 1976. Be it further resolved that a suitable copy of this resolution be transmitted to Ray Escuriex Sr.” His life’s achievements were chronicled by Pierce and Romero.įollowing the proclamation’s long list of whereases, it read: “Therefore be it resolved that the House of Representatives of the Legislature of Louisiana does hereby commend Ray Escuriex Sr., upon being named 2017 Citizen of the Year by The Daily Iberian, does hereby recognize and record for posterity his notable accomplishments and manifold contributions to Iberia Parish and does hereby extend enduring appreciation for the tremendous pride and honor that he brings to his family, community and state. It was obvious New Iberia cares as much about Escuriex as Escuriex cares about New Iberia. Men and women who attended the event applauded heartily after the proclamation was read.
It was read to the crowd by Julie Romero, a legislative aide to Barras who called our publisher earlier that day to reserve a spot on the agenda for Citizen of the Year. The proclamation was introduced as a resolution in the current session. Pierce told everyone there was a special guest in the house representing House Speaker Taylor Barras, R-New Iberia.īarras and his staff made the time in that, the first week of the Louisiana Legislative Session, to draw up a proclamation honoring Escuriex, who is well-deserving of any and all accolades. There was a surprise turn to the format of the annual recognition that coincides with our Open House celebrating another birthday as the community’s newspaper, No. Sitting alongside his wife, Dorothy, at a table in the room, he listened in appreciation, as did the dozens of people in the crowd of family and friends. The 86-year-old Escuriex was oh-so proud when Daily Iberian Publisher Christina Pierce talked about his accomplishments and life as an active above-and-beyond member of this community, a volunteer who still makes every effort to help. as does The Daily Iberian, which was proved Thursday afternoon when we honored Escuriex as 2017 Citizen of the Year. A local state legislator thinks as highly of Ray Escuriex Sr.
